Our water heater is dying!!! Anyone know of a good plumber who does tankless heaters?

Pond Flowers

I know, I Know.  I'm lame, all I post about is our pond.  But to me it is so exciting!!  We've had flowers on our lilies (and iris's I think) start blooming.  In all honestly I don't remember the different kind of plants we bought.  Especially one kind that has been blooming like mad, but its pretty, I think the plant is an iris but I have no idea.  I do know we have water lily's, water hyacinth, and water lettuce.  Along with another plant that I don't recall what it is.

But the possible Iris has been blooming.  Attached are some of the pictures I've taken of it.  We had just one blossom when it was raining, then this last week it had an additional 2 blossoms!!

Our water lilies all have buds that I'm hoping will open this summer.   Out of the 3 water lilies we have one is starting to open.  

Also last Friday we added rocks to the pond and gave our 13 fishies some hidey-holes.  Basically really large slabs of rock across some of the shelves.  We did this in 2 corners of the pond so now it can be difficult to find them as they hide under the rocks as well as under the pump...silly fish!!

Below is my attempt at a slideshow of the pictures I've taken this last couple of weeks, sorry kinda long and scattered post, but its how my mind works so you'll just have to deal with it for anyone who reads this.

Hectic

Things have been a little hectic for me lately. It seems like no matter what I do my days are always busy with this or that.

Lately its been me freaking out about camp, young womens, our pond and new fishies, our remaining fish (Lefty who Todd likes to swat at).

Stupid Lefty, if he wouldn't tease Todd, the neighborhood cat then he wouldn't be swatted at on a daily basis, but the darn fish likes to swim at the top of the wee pond.

So here's to my day, in hopes that the weather will continue to be nice (no rain please) for the next two days at least. That will enable us to get rocks for the large pond, have good weather for the ward bbq and maybe just maybe try to straighten out our tree.

We're eating inside the Mandarin, its a first for me!!

The Millstone

So I've been trying to find a way to post the movie hubby & friends created a couple of weeks ago, but sadly it is too big to go on the blog or You tube. Granted I'm a beginner at you tube, but the file is over 1.5 meg so its a bit too big. I'll see if hubby can set it up on his website, its at http://thenightink.com/. Until then, so sorry!!

I still will attempt to find a way to add it here though.

Lost Creek

I just love Lost Creek! Hubby was kind enough to let us go camping this last weekend instead of trying to fly somewhere or drive somewhere. When you haven't decided still were you're going on a vacation until you're already supposed to be on vacation I say go camping!!

We got up there Friday afternoon, cut some wood and decided to set up camp. Not even 5 minutes after tent is set up does it start raining. An hour later we emerged to a wet landscape, but the beaver dam was just lovely when it was still sprinkling. Too bad I didn't bring my camera out into the rain, maybe next time.

Saturday was a more eventful day! Our family was coming up to join us and hang out! Sadly the rain had another thought for us and decided to start raining around 3pm. We still had lovely dutch oven lunch under out canopy then decided to call it a day around 6 when it was still raining and didn't look like it was stopping anytime soon.

So maybe we'll do another adventure of camping over the weekend at Lost Creek seeing as it is a new month!

Eventually I'll get some pictures posted, but it was very cool, the beaver dam had like 20 fish in it! I promise, hubby even caught one! He was a good guy and threw the fish back into the creek though. Said it wasn't big enough for dinner and maybe next weekend he'll catch the big one we saw.
